<u>Elastic Potential Energy
</u>
Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.
Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.
Solving for Δx:

Answer:
R = 715.4 N
L = 166.6 N
Explanation:
ASSUME the painter is standing right of center
Let L be the left rope tension
Let R be the right rope tension
Sum moments about the left end to zero. Assume CCW moment is positive
R[5] - 20(9.8)[5/2] - 70(9.8)[5/2 + 2] = 0
R = 715.4 N
Sum moments about the right end to zero
20(9.8)[5/2] + 70(9.8)[5/2 - 2] - L[5] = 0
L = 166.6 N
We can verify by summing vertical forces
116.6 + 715.4 - (70 + 20)(9.8) ?=? 0
0 = 0 checks
If the assumption about which side of center the paint stood is incorrect, the only difference would be the values of L and R would be swapped.
Recall this kinematic equation:
a = 
This equation gives the acceleration of the object assuming it IS constant (the velocity changes at a uniform rate).
a is the acceleration.
Vi is the initial velocity.
Vf is the final velocity.
Δt is the amount of elapsed time.
Given values:
Vi = 0 m/s (the car starts at rest).
Vf = 25 m/s.
Δt = 10 s
Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for a:
a = 
<h3>a = 2.5 m/s²</h3>
Answer:
The small car and the truck experience the same average force.
Explanation:
The average net force will be the resultant force of the average forces of both vehicles. On collision, they'll both experience the same impact force, but the deceleration and deformation felt by the individual vehicle will be proportional to the mass of the vehicle. This is why it will seem like the car will have more force but is not actually so.
